Fine Tuning - MB QUART MBQX-SUB-2 Installation Manual

FINE TUNING

After you have confirmed and tested that all components are working, you can fine tune the amplifier
settings. Through hundreds of installations we have determined the following settings are ideal for the Can-
Am X3 UTV-Tuned Audio Packages. Reference source unit volume level for these settings is 30-35 with no
boost in bass, treble or EQ settings.
NOTE – Gain control, it is important to adjust each amplifier gain as described in the manual. Remember,
these settings are NOT volume controls. Gain controls, properly adjusted help properly balance the system
sound between lows, highs and minimize distortion that comes from the source unit. Listen for a clear, crisp
audio sound. The ideal gain setting should allow full volume from the source unit without audible distortion.
